Too Strange Not to Include It.

<< Od Occurrence >> Dwarf swallowed by hippo

A hippopotamus swallowed a circus dwarf in a freak accident in northern Thailand last week.

The circus dwarf, Od, was in mid-act, bouncing on a trampoline, when he accidentally jumped sideways... and straight into the mouth of Hilda the hippopotamus, who was yawning on the sidelines, waiting for her act to get underway. Hilda's gag reflex took over.. and Od was swallowed whole.

The 1000 spectators in the audience applauded wildly ... until they realised what they were watching wasn't part of any act.
